I'd say we have a better chance than last year, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. I only say that because of our poor history in the tourney even when we have good teams. On paper, unless we draw a really bad matchup, the road to the championship game shouldn't be that tedious. It's possible.
UT has won it 4 times. The most recent is 1979. Before that it was 1943. So, most people will only remember one.
They should've won it in 2008 but got upset by Ark on a last second shot. That was the year UGA pulled a miracle and won it after the tornado hit the Ga Dome and they moved it Ga Tech's campus.
UT was runner up in 2009 and had a couple of chances to win it at the end and screwed the pooch.
